So there I was at a local tyre shop getting new tyres to replace those I busted on the weekend. I sat down at the waiting area and glanced upon the pile of magazines. It was the most bizarre collection of magazines that I’ve ever seen. By themselves there’d be nothing weird about it but in a pile meant for tyre buyers like me, it was just a little surreal.

A big stack was made up of women’s magazines: Cosmo, New Idea, New Weekly and sundry gossip mags. A smaller stack on the side: fishing magazines. Another small stack: tattoo magazines.

Is there a sub-group of our society that I’m not aware of? Are there a group of female fishing aficionadoes and tattoo-connoiseurs who buy tyres on a regular basis? Or are there a bunch of blokey biker types who’s into fishing, and who secretly reads female magazines to get an insight into their b*tches????

Enquiring minds need to know!
